Heinrich Spindler 2023 Ungeheuer Riesling Grosse Lage
The Ungeheuer is perhaps the best vineyard name in all of viticulture—it means “monster.” The vineyard was first mentioned in 1470 as "an dem Ungehuwern." At that time, this meant something "undeveloped, uncanny." Protected from westerly winds, the site in the center of the hill boasts an extremely diverse range of soil types. The western boundary of the site is formed by a prehistoric shell limestone reef. The surrounding vineyards there have a high active limestone content. Ungeheuer is rich and aromatic with power and minerality, with a fine and elegant palate full of spice and rich fruit.
